GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Daniel Boone is crazy and a little gross.The microwaves are in such bad shape the glass plate in there no longer spins also their is a paper towel in both of the microwaves that is melted on.They locked the only good bathroom in the entire school so now girls only have 7 stalls to use because the 800 pod bathroom only has 2 out of 5 stalls that work. In the 900 pod, which is outside, the bathroom was not cleaned for almost 2 months. The floors in some of the classrooms almost never get swept.The teachers here are not the best but some of them try to be better.In the beginning of the school year when the kids were ripping stuff off the walls there was no soap,no paper towels, and even not toilet paper.Every day each student only gets 2 bathroom passes a day;some teachers only let students go to the bathroom 4 times in a 9 week period.They also never tell us what's going on.There will be a bomb threat and they won't even tell us.Overall Boone is a poor school in ever way.

I enjoyed the chance to run for the Trailblazers. Enjoyed the construction class finding that I am good at making pens. I would like to see more technical classes added.

Teachers didn't really care about teaching you, they just wanted to get TN Ready over with and get you out of their class. I want to encourage you, that i...

Daniel Boone High School is by far the worst school I have ever had the displeasure of attending. My family has moved all around the country and out of it because of military situations. The only thing i have to say that's good about this school is the ROTC and even that's not perfect. It's clear th...

As a former student, I can say that Daniel Boone is a poor school overall and I felt as if I spent years trying to catch up after attending this poorly run institution. Very few of the teachers actually challenge their students; mostly recycled dogma is taught. The school is run based on politics, s...
